STRABON V 2, 1: ἡ Λιγυστική .... οὐδὲν ἔχουσα περιηγήσεως ἄξιον, πλὴν ὅτι κωμηδὸν ζῶσι, τραχεῖαν γῆν ἀροῦντες καὶ σκάπτοντες, μᾶλλον δὲ λατομοῦντες, ὥς φησι Ποσειδώνιος.

STRABON V 2, 1 : La Ligystique [...] ne présente rien qui mérite une description, si ce n’est que ses habitants vivent dispersés en villages, labourant et creusant une terre rude, ou plutôt taillant la pierre, comme le dit Posidonius.
